In the Greater Wasatch Area (Oqden to Provo) we really haven't seen "large" increases in accidents (I think 2 over same time last year) Any Hooo just carring a FAK over nothing is commendable, Like you stated "tons" of Kerlex, 4x4's is by far the safest and least expensive way to go. After you do the "inital" control the bleeding, rescue is not that far off.
